At a press conference, Karim Benzema was asked about the content of his discussion with Didier Deschamps which preceded his return to the Blues. The Real Madrid player did not want to broach the subject, preferring to retain his return to the French team: "I think that no matter who looked for what, the main thing is that we discussed, football or other things, and that today I am in the group. (...) With Deschamps we get along really well! I don't want to go back 5 years. ”
He also spoke of his long absence from the French team and how he had worked to come back: "When we are not in the selection we are disappointed, what disappointed me the most was not to play at the World Cup , to the Euro.
I questioned myself, I worked.
(...) What happened has happened, there are always regrets but we cannot go back.
Today I am focused on my game and what I can bring to the Team. ”
